Read any good books lately?

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Let's see. I just worked my way through a collection of Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea stories, and I re-read "The Shipping News" by Annie Proulx.

I'm also working on "The High King's Tomb," the third book in Kristen Britain's Green Rider series. It's a wonderful series, well-written. It's a shame that BCCLS only permits one renewal for most books; I felt a little sad to return the first two books to the library.

Today, I learned about an organization called BookCrossing. The way it works is, its members "register" books that they have and leave them in a designated drop point for others to pick up and read, and there's some kind of tracking and journaling system on the group's Web site. It sounds kind of cool; I'm thinking of sending one of my own books out into the system.

I knocked out Odd Thomas and Forever Odd. I'm halfway through Brother Odd, but my happiness has went down the drain, cause I cant read it any more because I have to read 1984...ick...

I like King, but I think Dean Koontz is a better author

Just read a book called "I kissed dating goodbye".

and I am currently reading the first of Isaac Asimov's foundation trilogy. Totally loving it.

I just finished reading "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" (which was later loosely adapted into the fantastic film: "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?") and loved it.

Was very different from the movie that was based off of it, but still a great great (I'll be honest...I like the movie better).

I tried to read this book, it's way different then the movie.

The last group of books I read were: Steve Martin's autobiography, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Happens all the time - the movie is way different from the book it's based on.

I just read, to name a few: "Mill on the Floss" by George Eliot and "Thursday Next: First Among Sequels" by Jasper Fforde. These days I'm working my way through "Time's Eye" by Arthur C. Clarke.

Also I'm almost finished Ezekiel.

Even though I'm not done (I'm reading it on schedule for school), I have to admit, I am enjoying 1984. and I was worried about not liking it cause my friend hated it

but I'm still mad I couldnt finish brother odd...

 

[JaniceFerSure]

I'm thinking about either reading a Harry Potter book, or a book from the Dune series.

 

[Pork]

Reading the last book in the foundation trilogy "Second Foundation".

Also reading the book of Daniel
